Irsay Pleads Guilty, Suspended 6 Games, Fined $500K By NFL

Just hours after Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while intoxicated in an Indiana courtroom, he received his additional punishment from the NFL.

On Tuesday, he entered that plea and was sentenced to one year's probation and had his driver's license revoked for a year. As terms of his probation, he will be subject to monthly drug testing.

Irsay's full sentence includes 60 days to in the Hamilton County (Ind.) jail, according to the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office. Fifty-eight days of his sentence were suspended, and Irsay was given two days of credit for the one day he served on March 17.

The court imposed costs of $168.50 and a $200 alcohol countermeasure fee, the release states. The court also recommended that Irsay's license be suspended for a period of 90 days.

It'll be good to get this behind the franchise. I don't think it impacts anything on the field. I hope Irsay truly gets healthy - he's a good owner who cares about winning, the franchise and the city, not just making money.

No Twitter - my chances of winning one of his contests just went from doubtful to not possible until mid-October.

Here is my question....can he have any interaction with his daughters since they are employed by the team? For example would having them over for dinner or calling them just to check on them or give them a progress update on his rehab be a violation of this suspension?

Seems like taking his support group and family away would be the worst thing they could do....but the NFL likes to make blanket rules.

I doubt Goodell is dumb enough to bar Irsay from his daughters. I think it would only become an issue if he were to discuss team functions with them, but let's be honest, none of them have any true experience running the franchise. Irsay will be right there to help if they ask.
